Method

By hand method

Make a well in the centre and pour in the olive oil and the tepid water

Gradually mix the flour into the oil and water to make a soft, slightly sticky dough

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic

Shape the dough into a ball and roll it out (or push it out with your hands) into a round, and place on baking sheet

Cover loosely with a clean tea-towel, tucking the ends under the baking sheet - leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until the dough has double 1/2 in thickness

Uncover the bread - if you'd like to make it look like an authentic focaccia you can press your finger into the risen dough to make deep dents all over the top; wet your fingers each time, to leave the top of the loaf moist

Brush olive oil over the bread and sprinkle with garlic and rosemary

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden

Bread machine method

Combine ingredients and place in bread machine

Once the dough is done, press onto a baking tray, brush with olive oil and then sprinkle with garlic and rosemary (healthier to use garlic than salt!)
